I'm re-sending this as I got a bounce-back! I'm sorry if it's redundant!

Eric, Mark, Scott and OBRA, the formally updated race day schedule will be posted later today, but see it here below!

All start times are moved later in the day. The 9:40am time, for example, is now 10am, and there will not be beginners in it. Given weekend 'crosses have averaged under 250 racers per day this fall, I think we'll be lucky if we have 100 in that start time -- a good problem to have, I suppose! Plus, the start section is long and wide open, so moving up and thru a field will be easy -- just like at Bridge City CX and Corn Cross.

I sincerely hope you all join us! The venue and course are not to miss. Please let me know what I can do to further encourage you! -Erik

It's all good Erik.  It will be like the days we miss with full fields of 100 to 150 racers.  A true Championship.   Heck Erik, you are always out front everytime anyways.  I know this, because I end up eating your dust the whole race trying to catch you.  :-)

You've got this!

I am not sure I am willing to make the trip just to start with 90 or 100 other people for the 9:40 start for a state championships. There wouldn't really be much racing. Mostly just trying to pass a million people.
